    MARCH 6, 2014 BY KRISANNE HALL One Town Disarmed History provides us with a valuable gauge to know how much tyranny has beset a nation and just how comfortable people are in their servitude. Are Americans immune to such maladies today? History proves the answer to that question to be a resounding “No.” Let us take a snapshot from history, however, and you can make the decision on your own. The Boston Tea Party sparked a chain of events that would alter the face of the world forever. The British government had to act quickly and decisively to put an end to the uprisings in Boston. Parliament passed a series of acts, one which closed the port of Boston on 1 June 1774. Two additional acts, what we know as the Intolerable Acts, would be next. These three acts, together with the Quebec Act and the Quartering Act, are all together known as the “Coercive Acts.” The driving force for the Coercive Acts, was another piece of legislation called the “Declaratory Act,” passed March 18 1766 which stated that Parliament “had, hath, and of right ought to have, full power and authority to make laws and statutes of sufficient force and validity to bind the colonies and people of America, subjects of the crown of Great Britain, in all cases whatsoever.” The British government had declared itself to be all powerful, and outside any criticism, punishable by a charge of treason and death. To put that in perspective, the government declared itself the power to make and enforce any law, and then wrote laws that gave the government the authority to enforce laws with armed force. This did not go well with the colonists. In May of 1774 General Thomas Gage was appointed military Royal Governor over Massachusetts. Gage would become very aggressive in the efforts to control the colonist and subdue their “seditious” behavior. He was going to enforce the “Coercive Acts” upon the colonists whether they liked it or not. Gage passed laws that forbade any town meetings without his approval and would only legally allow one town meeting a year. At one point he sent troops to disband and eliminate a crowd that had gathered in Salem, Massachusetts. The people, outraged at the display of force, responded by gathering over 3,000 armed colonists, causing Gage’s men to retreat. This would not be the end of Gage’s tyranny. Gage was told by the King to get the colonists under control. But Gage did not have the force necessary to control the colonists, because the colonists outnumbered Gage’s troops and out-armed them, as well. Gage had the solution to his problem; take control of the gun powder and ammunition. Early morning on September 1, 1774, Gage’s troops would seize hundreds of barrels of gun powder from the Charleston powder house. The colonists did not take this show of force lightly. By the end of the day over 20,000 armed colonists, aged 16 to 60, began to march their way to Boston. The colonists were sending a message, if the government was going to use the forc

    1984 here we come. Is there anyone left protecting individual freedoms and honoring their oaths to the Constitution? Sure doesn't look like it. Have Holder telling attorney generals if they don't agree with the law not to enforce it, so it is pick and choose what laws you like and what you don't just like Obama and Holder without any push back from Congress. Chilling and disgusting that most of you have become koolaid drinkers for the the ideology of this tyrant and his racial left cronies.

    For one of the most important issues voting you don't need a picture id, it is racist, against your freedoms, but to be an American citizen we need to have all our private data recorded for posterity or tyranny. First amendment going going gone, 2nd amendment going going gone, and the freedom of the press is guaranteed only if you pander to the political party in power. Chilling 1984, dictatorship, freedom gone, police state is a coming.

    America was the home of the free and the brave. We have become a country of 'ruling class' tyrants that feel it necessary to clinch their claws into the people's business. Our government was formed by the people and for the people to hold the government accountable. Instead the people are held hostage with deceit and dishonesty by keeping the people in the dark of its actions. The government wants to keep track of our every move - all the while keep hidden their actions and lie about what they do expose. America is no longer the land of the free and the brave - but rather has evolved into the land of the bondage and the afraid. God help us all!

    In the name of protecting America, why is it that the government feels it has to take the individual citizen's freedoms away-freedoms that are promised in our country's constitution!!!!!
